Bright green auroras shimmer over a small Sami village in northern Sweden in a picture taken March 16.

The bubble-like picture was created using an 8mm fisheye lens, allowing the photographer to capture an all-sky view of the northern lights in a single frame

From their vantage point high above Earth, astronauts on the International Space Station were able to capture daybreak (left) and nighttime auroras in a single frame.

The newly released picture, snapped on March 6 over the Indian Ocean, also shows a Russian Soyuz spacecraft (center) and a Progress resupply ship docked at the station.
